ADMISSION AS A TRANSFER STUDENT

Note: A "transfer" student is one who has completed twenty-four semester hours of degree credit or the equivalent in another college or colleges. If a student has less than twenty-four transferable credit hours, the admission application will be evaluated on a combination of college-level and high school course work as well as college entrance examination results.

1. Applicants for transfer from another college or university must request official transcripts which bear the seal of each institution attended to be mailed by each institution attended. No transcript from any institution previously attended may be omitted. The student shall also submit any other records or letters which the University may require in support of the application.
2. Applicants for transfer upon graduation from a Tennessee Board of Regents community college, having earned an A.A. or A.S. in a university-parallel program, will usually be eligible for admission.
3. Transfer applicants must meet the following academic standards based on all of their previous coursework (except developmental studies courses) at all institutions. In addition to meeting these initial requirements, applicants must have at least a 2.0 GPA in their last full-time semester (or last 12 hours for part-time students) in order to be accepted.
   The Admissions Office will also evaluate the student’s progress toward completing any required high school deficiencies and remedial/developmental courses. Failure to complete such courses may result in denial of admission.

5. All students graduating high school in 1989 and thereafter must have completed academic high school units identified under section 4 of admission to Freshman Standing. Transfer students whose transcripts show satisfactory completion of the General Education program prescribed by the Board of Regents' Policy on Degree Requirements shall be exempted from taking additional courses that normally are a part of the requirements of the University, except where teacher certification regulations, major field requirements, or professional accreditation agencies require the inclusion of such courses in the program of studies.
